Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 pint heavy whipping cream
• 1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
• 1 cup chopped green onions
• 1 cup chopped white onion
• 1 (1 pound) loaf processed cheese food (such as Velveeta®), cubed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.

Step 2

Combine boiled potatoes, chicken broth, processed cheese, heavy cream, sour cream, cream cheese, white onion, and green onions in a slow cooker.

Step 3

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and let cool, about 5 minutes. Crumble into the slow cooker.

Step 4

Cook on High, stirring occasionally until potatoes disintegrate, about 2 hours. Switch to Low; cook until soup is thickened, about 1 hour 30 minutes more.
